After Christian camp

As many of you guys may know, TG and I just got back from christian camp. It was an extrememly emotional and uplifting experience(as usual haha), and I got so much closer to God. But that feeling of love and trust always goes away after a few weeks. I just really want some prayer so I can keep up this amazing relationship with God that I have developed.
I also need some prayer so I can have more faith in God. :)

I also need prayer for a few of my friends from my youth group that also went to camp. My one friend just finally got a better relationship with God, and I really want her to keep it up. My other friend has issues with some really bad stuff that I wont mention. She goes to church, but doesn't act Christian. My heart really goes out to her and I'm worried about her.

I would just like some prayer for my whole youth group in general.

I'll be praying. I know the feeling after church camps and how hard it is to come back and apply that new closeness to God into your everyday life. But, keep at it. ^_^

I'll be praying for your friends as well. ^_^

That's great! I'm so happy for you guys.


However, there is one thing that always concerns me about these things. Satan is never lazy and is always eager to get back inside your head. I'm not being negative with this! I am just being straightforward with you that Satan works his hardest on Christians after they have had a great spiritual experience (Such as camp.). So be on your guard and always look to see if Satan is trying to mess with your mind. If you feel a little lower at some point in the next few days, don't be surprised, but pray accordingly.

I'm glad you guys had a good time getting closer to God!

Thanks alot for the advice. :) And yeah, thats's what I'm concerned for. I really want to keep up this relationship, and I dont want Satan getting in the way. I had that happen last year, and i dont want it to happen again.

Thanks all of you for your prayer. :)

I'll be praying, as well. Between the years from the time I entered high school to the time I left it, I had gone to four major Christian conferences/camps. Within that time period I gave my life to Christ, rededicated my life, rededicated my life again, and then received my call into ministry. (The second rededication was in my Junior year, to which my youth minister took me aside and said "Hey, I don't want you coming back here broken again next year, you need to be a leader now. Show them how it's done!")

Needless to say, I understand the falling away after camp as a very real and literal thing, and difficult to fight against. I'll be praying for you guys. I am so glad to hear you all had a wonderful time! ^^

I know that feeling and understand how suffocating it can be sometimes. Just keep seeking after God with the same passion you had that weekend. Those feelings of distance will come and go but he will not. I'll be praying.

I totally understand what you're going through with the camp thing. Lots of prayer for you guys then!
As for your friends and entire youth group, prayer on that subject too.

I know the feeling too. I'll be praying for you mate but please also realise that you have experience the valleys to appreciate the mountains. It's part of life. But prayer never goes astray.
